Wade's 40!!

Happy 40th Wade!!

He just wanted a large cup in the cupboard when he wanted a drink.  Is that too much to ask for? 

Ruby LaPreal . . . April 2012

Ruby is now 1 1/2 years old.  She is very pensive, loves to sleep, always carries her cup of water (we must have let her get thirsty one too many times), she is very slow to warm up to new people, but if you can get her to laugh it is the best sound in the world.  She LOVES having her back scratched!!  She can be in the middle of a temper tantrum and you start scratching her back and she calms right down.  Kind of like those fish that can't move if you turn them upside down.  As the fifth child she blames everything on Abbie!  Abbie won't even be home and Ruby falls off of something and says "Aaaabbieeee!"  She is more of a Mommy's girl which I love.  It's about time!

We Love You Ruby!!

Just wanted to show what a gap there is between Savannah and Abbie and Ruby!  Love my girls!



Abbie Lurlene . . .

 Just wanted to show Abbie and what she's been up to in these last few months.  She spends her time hanging out with Mom going to all of the older kids activities.  She is outspoken and knows what she wants.  She loves to jump on the trampoline and we love the static hair halo that she gets all winter long, while jumping.  She is funny and mischievious and still is a total Daddy's girl!  She is 3 2/3 years old.

We Love you Abigail!

Brady is Eight!

Pine Wood Derby Race April 2012

The red, white and blue car is Brady's.  I think he got 4th place over all.  You can tell from the pictures below that his car did end up winning this race.

Brady and Tyson Grow watching the race.  These two are the best of friends and are together every spare minute they can be.  I have over heard them on quite a few occasions plotting how they could become brothers.

That is all the emotion you will get from this kid!

Nice job Brady!!

Savannah's Birthday

 The Mia Maids in our ward welcomed Savannah on her birthday with these hearts and chalk drawings all over the drive way.

Savannah is 14!!

 She also received some special deliveries :)!!

 Her party was so much fun to watch.  It was an amazing group of VERY happy, VERY talented girls.  Olivia Stiles, Savannah, Jill Hibbard, Sarah Larsen, Malia, & Brynn Beal (in this photo).



They played a bunch of games and just basically laughed for a few hours.  The rest of the girls were Hanna Webster, Brooklyn Andrew, Jessica Stastny, and Allysa Brotherson.

Happy 11th Birthday Max!!

 Max was doing a 'No Sugar' challenge with Savannah since New Year's.  This was one of two free days for the month and he took full advantage.  Under that big box were vases full of his favorite treats.

 Max's menu choices for the day were : 

 Breakfast: Lemon filled donuts 

 Lunch:  Pizza Hut delivered to school  

 Dinner:  Italian Hoagie Bread

. . . and a Homeade Oreo Cake.  Which is so ugly but that is how he described what he wanted!!

Happy 11th Birthday Max!!!
